Ranch Chicken

This Ranch Chicken is one of the most delicious chicken recipes you’ll ever try! The outside coating is crispy and packed with flavor and the inside is tender and juicy!

We LOVE this chicken! It is a big favorite at our house. My kids love it, my hubby loves it, and I love it too 🙂 ( Did I say love it enough? Ha!) I add this chicken to the dinner menu often! It is crispy, full of flavor and baked, not fried! It is made up of only 3 ingredients: crushed Corn flakes, grated Parmesan cheese and of course, Ranch dressing! YUM 🙂

Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, flavorful Ranch chicken. This is a family-favorite!

Combine the Ranch seasoning mix, the crushed Corn flakes and Parmesan cheese into a large freezer baggie.

Shake well to mix all together.

Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, and then drop into the baggie. Seal the bag shut and then shake well to coat with the seasoning mix. After well coated lay chicken into the baking dish. Repeat with all of the chicken.

Once all chicken has been coated, sprinkle the remaining seasoning mixture onto the tops of chicken.

Bake chicken for 40- 45 minutes. (Towards the last 15 minutes of cooking you may need to lay a piece of foil over the top to prevent from burning.)

YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My mouth is watering just looking! What time will you be here to make it?? Ha ha ha! You are an exquisite Chef! Make me a tooth shaped birthday cake. My birthday is Dec. 28th. LOVE YA, T dawg

Yumm looks so tasty! I have a similar recipe that came from my first cookbook EVER. Something like…cooking basics or something. Such a simple recipe but the results are awesome. You took really good pictures too 🙂

This recipe was a hit at our house. My only change was cutting the chicken breast in half (I do this to just about all chicken breast recipes) and adding another 1/2 cup of corn flakes. I’ll be making this dish often.

I just made this last night and it was a big hit. I just have one question I have ranch dressing that is a jar so how much do you use? I just guessed how much it turned out ok but I think I used too much seasoning.

We had this a few weeks ago at my mom’s house and I’ve made it for my own family twice since then. We all love it! Even my picky sons (ages 8 and 5). It’s packed with flavor, and the chicken is perfectky cooked. I substituted “I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter” to save on calories, and it was just as awesome. 🙂

Made this not that long ago. My cornflake mixture didn’t stick as beautifully as pictured, but it’s the taste that matters most. This chicken had a TON of parmy-ranch flavor. One chicken breast was enough because I think it was almost too flavorful, but it wasn’t bad, just strong flavored! I would rate this a 8/10. I’d eat it again.

My husband and I absolutely love this dish. I came across it on pintrest, and now we probably have it at least once or twice a month to spice up our chicken routine. It is so quick and easy and incredibly delicious. I like to slice my chicken breasts in half to make thinner cutlet-like pieces (that way they cook in half the time). I also always sprinkle the remaining crumbs on top of the chicken before baking for extra crunchy yummi-ness. I definitely recommend making this recipe…it is perfect!

I made this last week and it was the best chicken I have ever had out of the oven!! Crisp on the outside and unbelievably tender on the inside. My boyfriend asked for it again this week, which is rare, lol. Great recipe!

LOVE this recipe!!! I make it a lot, but there have been a few times where the top of the chicken breast itself turns out crunchy… not the crumbs on top of the chicken, but the actual chicken. Does anyone know what this could be from? Thank you in advance!!

Just made this recipe exactly too the posted way and it was a smash! I’m far from anything good in the kitchen but the chicken came out absolutely beautiful, juicy, and flavorful! Rock Star for the night! Lol Thank You

Hi! So I just wanted to say this recipe was amazing! Totally foolproof.. I am a walking disaster in the kitchen and I just got so many compliments from my friends I made this for! Thank you SO SO much!

Tried this tonight and it was delish! I did one thing differently from the recipe. Instead of dipping the chicken in butter, I tossed them in a ziplock with 1/2c. of plain whole yogurt in the morning. Yogurt is a non-acidic tenderizer that helps the chicken stay moist (some use buttermilk for the same reason). When I was ready to cook, I just shook off the excess yogurt and dropped the breasts into the crumb mix. Thanks for a simple and flavorful weeknight dinner idea.

This is now a go to recipe in our house! It is absolutely delish! My husband and son are two of the pickiest eaters out there. They LOVE when I make this for dinner. It tastes great, it’s easy, and fast! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!!!

OMG! From this recipe, I made it tonight, but I used crushed Ritz Crackers instead, no parmesean, then added Mozzarella Cheese on top for the last 5 minutes of cooking. It’s came out soooooo delicious! Definitely a new favorite for me! Chicken was so moist!

This recipe is Amazing! The chicken comes out WONDERFUL and moist! I have made this half a dozen times and it has been prefect everytime. We have gotten in the habit of adding more ranch but the original is so good!

Hi Taylor, I have had this problem as well. I found that if you pop the chicken in the fridge after breading it for maybe half an hour or so, it helps the breading stick. After making breaded chicken so many times only to watch the breading slide right off, I Googled it to find a solution and this worked! Good luck!

Holly, great and I mean GREAT chicken recipe. It was everything you indicated on your site and more. Made it “exactly” as listed, no sense in tweaking recipe b4 you use it, I give it a chance. Thanks again

I was very skeptical at first but this is so good! The chicken turned out to be juicy and flavorful despite the short list of ingredients. The pictures inspired me to serve it with corn as well. Great summer lunch/dinner. Thanks for sharing!

Hi! I’m planning on cooking this tonight, I’m stuck on the ranch seasoning part lol. Do you actually make the ranch dressing or do you just use the mix? Sorry if that’s silly to ask. I’m just a little confused. I would assume I’m making the dressing?

Definitely a new favorite in our house. I didn’t have corn flakes so I improvised Kix cereal. Super easy to make for someone who is tired after work and also packs in a fabulous flavor! Thanks for posting!

[…] Dinner-Ranch chicken (from the blog Life in the Lofthouse) with couscous and salad. This is always an all around hit. It’s easy, fast and the kids eat everything. I get a boxed mix of couscous and usually the Asain salad kit because that’s what Toby will eat. […]
